The Wasserfallweg at Kolm Saigurn follows glacial meltwater falls through the Goldberggruppe landscape above the Rauris valley, which was one of the Habsburg Empire’s most productive gold mining areas from the 13th century onward. Kolm Saigurn is at 1,600 meters at the end of the Rauris valley road; 2-3 hours return for the waterfall trail. Car from Zell am See via the Rauris valley (40 km). Best May to October. The Rauris valley gold mining museum provides historical context for the landscape above.
